Rose-Colored Boy Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Bullshit. It was easier to get tickets for this year, after Metallica. They're a band that have managed to take Glasto headliner expectations back down to earth. Ideally I'd like to agree with you but, yeah, as others have said, if the sale was over quicker and less of the efests sample were succesful then that doesn't scream "easier to get tickets" to me Edited March 17, 2015 by Zac Quinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 For the record, Rod was shite! a total let down of a headline performance after a spine tingling set fro Mr Pink Floyd. Stay with me was good surely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopickledaddy Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Stay with me was good surely... I'm sure if he had played with the Faces it would have been good, but he seemed to be playing with a pub band that night and all the songs suffered for it :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 One man's fish is another man's poisson. There were five of us last year and all turned up to see what Metallica would be like. Two stayed and loved it. The others, me included, quit after two numbers and went walkabout. As a result I chanced on a superb Bryan Ferry set that I might otherwise have overlooked. The joy of Glasto is if you don't like someone there are usually several alternatives. KW isn't for me but I'm pretty sure I'll find something that I will enjoy. And I hope he'll do the business for those who want to see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringo_Spar Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 For the record, Rod was shite! a total let down of a headline performance after a spine tingling set fro Mr Pink Floyd.That was absolutely magic. Quadrophonic sound. I was stoned immaculate at the time. The barking dogs proper freaked me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.M.V Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Reckon Nal might be inebriated somewhere considering its Paddies day and all. Quite surprised Woodie is capable of posting to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.M.V Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hehe never touch the stuff. When i was a young 'un before alcopops were even evented I used to drink a wee Jameson straight up. Now I'm old I have it in hot chocolate. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to work the other way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"WHISSKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" from a stoned and silly Nal. "Kind of whiskey?" was the battle hardened bartender's instant cold retort. "Jamm-esson." in perfect middle class Dublin was the response to a kindred spirit from Nal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnight Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Ideally I'd like to agree with you but, yeah, as others have said, if the sale was over quicker and less of the efests sample were succesful then that doesn't scream "easier to get tickets" to me I haven't seen the booking page in years, tbh. Not until the sold out message comes up, anyway. If I didn't have help from people with better luck (or skill, who knows?), 2010 probably would have been my last year of attendance. As for headliners, Kylie was the one that really baffled me - I had an "is-this-a-serious-proposal?" moment after that announcement. But I guess that doesn't count, as she got ill and did not play in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swine_Glasto2014 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 the final sound check before they came on stage was unbelievably loud. They were hitting a drum over and over and it was the loudest thing I've ever heard at the festival. And I was absolutely smashed at the time so would normally be immune to such things! Funny you should say that, I too noticed how loud the sound check was. And then thought the actual performance was nowhere near as loud as the sound check :/!
